The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) are building the New Jersey Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Network, which is part of a National EPHT Network being developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 16 states, and New York City.

The NJDHSS and NJDEP collect data on health, human exposures and environmental hazards, and the New Jersey EPHT Network seeks to bring this information together.  Tracking data can be used to help understand patterns and trends in:

• Environmental hazards
• Levels of human exposure
• Patterns and time trends in diseases

The EPHT Network will serve as an information resource for the public, government officials, health care providers, community organizations, and researchers.
